Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Mining Industry and Geology has held talks with Turkish industrial minerals company ESAN Eczacıbaşı to review ongoing cooperation and identify new investment opportunities, as Tashkent continues its drive to attract foreign capital and modernise its mining sector through regulatory reform and expanded geological exploration.
The meeting between Minister Bobir Islamov and ESAN Eczacıbaşı executives followed the fifth Tashkent International Investment Forum, where Uzbekistan showcased investment opportunities across mining, energy and infrastructure to international participants. The discussions covered Uzbekistan’s ongoing mining sector reforms, investor-friendly legislative measures introduced in recent years, and outcomes of the forum.
The parties reviewed the status of projects currently being implemented in Uzbekistan with ESAN Eczacıbaşı, discussed future development plans, and explored opportunities to deepen their strategic partnership. Both sides reaffirmed interest in expanding cooperation and advancing joint initiatives.
“Uzbekistan’s ongoing mining reforms, improved investment climate and the success of the 5th Tashkent International Investment Forum are creating new opportunities for international partnerships and long-term investment in the sector,” the ministry said.
ESAN Eczacıbaşı is one of Turkey’s leading industrial minerals and mining companies, active in the extraction, processing and international trade of minerals used in ceramics, glass, chemicals and related industries. The company has been expanding its international footprint through mining investments and strategic partnerships in recent years.
